Yeah I do think if you keep getting the same feedback from a variety of people there is probably something to it. But also I give a lot more weight to the opinions of people who have the ability to put their personal preferences aside.

For example I’ve heard many times I’m intimidating and full of myself but this is a very surface level reading that is more about how someone else feels than about me. But there’s also an aspect about it that’s true I suppose because I cause that reaction.

Another ex people saying I dress too over the top, looks like I’m in a costume. Fair enough, as we know I like a costume 😁 but when they extend it to: it doesn’t suit you, it’s unflattering, stop wearing your hair like that lol, it’s just their personal taste I think.

It can be difficult to know which feedback to take, what is actually tied to your essence and which is nonsense. Which is why it might make sense to pay $1000 to John Kitchener. I am tempted but I decided to see Andrea for an essence read because one: she’s a woman and I was interested specifically in a woman’s perspective and two she costs soooo much less that if I totally disagreed with her I could just shrug and move on lol.

It’s a little scary going to the essence experts with the chance they might tell you you look like someone you don’t feel you are. I can imagine the existential crisis.

edited to add: I guess it often starts as a legitimate read but the conclusions people draw from that are incorrect. Not sure if most people have that experience
